'Solid' Liberals: Not proud to be American and think they're better than you

A new study by the Pew Research Center that breaks down liberals and conservatives into 7 different groups, finds that those who identify as "solid liberals" don't think much of you, or America, or "honor and duty" as core values,

The finding is contained in Pew's new "Political Typology" report, which breaks Americans down into seven different categories -- rather than the usual three. Among the seven categories, "solid liberals" are the only group in which a majority say they aren't regularly proud to be Americans.

By contrast, more than seven in 10 "steadfast conservatives" and eight in 10 "business conservatives" say they are generally proud to be Americans.

The poll also shows many liberals don't liken themselves to your average American. Just 51 percent say they feel as though they are "typical Americans" -- as compared to three-quarters of conservatives and at least two-thirds of all the other groups.

Part of the difference in the new poll, undoubtedly, is that Pew drills down a little more to highlight differences between true liberals and other liberals who might not be as consistent. Pew's definition of "solid liberals" comprises just 15 percent of the American population -- a much smaller group than just "liberals" or Democrats.

So, to sum up: the Hard Left is bereft of honor and scoffs at duty as a core value; they are elitists who look down on everyone else as inferior; and they don't like America very much.

Sounds like most Democrats in Congress to me.
